My Current Gear
The Body Beautiful;
I am at a loss for words ... such sheer beauty!
“…… the best image detail that’s currently on the market and a very versatile photographic tools. We’ve used it in the studio and on location, for portraits and for sports, in daylight and in dim clubs and and on every occasion we were amazed how easy it was to achieve good results with the camera. Therefore, despite its eye-watering price tag, the Nikon D3X without a shadow of doubt earns itself our highest award.” – dpreview.com
What else can I say? Sheer power, crisp, clean, elegant ….. but it does come at a price! It also sucks the hell out of your computing power with minimum RAW files of 140MB! Good grief! What do you expect of a 24 Megapixel Camera?
Some of My Current Lenses;
Packs hell of a punch in terms of light!
“The unique combination of an f/2 maximum aperture combined with Vibration Reduction enables new photographic opportunities in light conditions previously impossible to achieve without resorting to grainy high-speed film or noise-prone digital ISO sensitivity settings. The shallow depth of field created by the wide f/2 aperture offers a unique appearance to pictures combined with a pleasing background blur and bright viewfinder image and will find favour with photographers seeking to freeze movement with fast shutter speeds in low lighting conditions.” – dpreview.com
Its as big as it seems … a tad heavy, but really, it’s worth every penny as a professional photographer who’s always on the move. Great for photojournalism. This Nikkor 200mm f/2.0 VR is really good. No regrets.
Really cool lens to have for close range shooting.
“Sigma bolsters its top-end EX range with the announcement of a HSM focusing-motor-equipped 50mm f/1.4 lens. Offering a moderate telephoto field of view on APS-C cameras, Sigma’s DG designation means it will also work as a standard lens on full-frame digital cameras.” – dpreview.com.
All I can say, it’s a pretty cool lens for close range shooting, working perfectly with my Nikon D3X.
One of the fastest lens that I use for everday shooting
“I’m surprised that the new 24-70mm Nikkor is obviously so much better than other lenses. When I ran comparisons against cheaper and older lenses, I fully intended to see the old stuff be about the same. Nope, the 24-70mm outdoes them all.” – kenrockwell.com.
Really good lens for general shooting. This Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 is my travelling companion for my photojournalistic works.
Excellent for those hard to reach areas, VR for clarity and precision
This lens is one which many of us photojournalists use, for covering sports, and events, especially when you are quite a distance a way. Excellent and definitely needs some body lugging skills.
Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 & Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, small and handy, great lenses
Small, light and very extremely handy lenses, for indoor photography and outdoor vibrant colors. This pairing will be sufficient for light and for you to make light for work!
